i can understand the whole "strap on a pair and man-up" mantra when it comes to severe cold, or wind, or rain, or whatnot, but i've never messed around with lightning. am i just a wussy old scaredy-cat for not enjoying being outdoors unprotected when lighting is all about?
Although I love thunderstorms, I'll take shelter when lightning is close by. Most severe storms pass quickly enough that it's not a big deal.
